Property Description

New owners have completely redecorated this cute 3 bedroom/ 2 bath duplex home including new furniture and interior décor. Located in “The Rookery” in the heart of Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge, it is only ½ mile from the beautiful quiet, white sand beaches of Baldwin County and the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. And with only a short, 15 minute drive to all the attractions, shopping, events, and restaurants in Gulf Shores this is a perfect vacation getaway or snowbird paradise.

The wildlife refuge is a 6,000 acre nature preserve that offers several easy trails through saw grass, marsh, and slash pine forest where you can encounter 500 different animals and bird species. The Fort Morgan Peninsula is in the bird and butterfly migration route. In early spring and late fall, the whole peninsula is alive with birds and butterflies including Monarchs and Gulf Fritillaries. In addition to the usual gulls and sand pipers, you may find kestrel, anhinga, osprey, great blue heron, and several different species of hawks, including sharp-shinned and Cooper's. Bring your camera so you can take your own little bit of paradise home with you.

The community offers several amenities for guests where you can swim I the large, zero entry, heated pool or take advantage of the other pool on the grounds, relax in the outdoor Jacuzzi, play tennis on one of the two, well-maintained courts, grill in the family picnic area, or just hang out at the gazebo.
